MARLIN COAST VETERINARY HOSPITAL REVIEWS

I cannot rate Dr Steven Porep and the Marlin Coast Veterinary Hospital team highly enough. We needed their expertise and care for emergency surgery for Storm, our 6 year old German shepherd who had a twisted stomach (GDV). This happened on a Friday night and we are grateful for the excellent after hours care we received. To all those involved in Storm's care, we thank you very much.

Thanks to Liam, the other vet's & nurse's that took care of Cookie! They did an amazing job and were holistic in their approach, providing care for Cookie but also caring about the relationship we have with our dog. Taking time to listen to what was happening and diagnosing him. Highly recommended by our family and much gratitude to the team.

I cannot rate the team at Marlin Coast Veterinary Hospital high enough. The two vets I see, Dr Ash and Dr Steven, are amazing. They take wonderful care of my dogs and as their owner, I am always treated with respect and all avenues of treatment are discussed in such detail. I've been to multiple vet clinics over the years and MCVH rate up there as one of the best.

ULYSSES VETERINARY CLINIC REVIEWS

Ulysses vet Stratford have taken care of our dogs and cats for years, all the vets are incredibly caring, thorough and informative. The vet nurses are always friendly and caring. I am posting this tonight because today we had to say goodbye to one of our cats. Dr Karen showed such empathy and kindness and made a terrible situation so much nicer for my cat as well as myself. I will be forever grateful to her for how peaceful she made the process and the kindness she showed us both.

Thank you to carol the lovely vet who looked after myself and my partner with our last precious moments with our fur baby Lucy. Also a big thank you to the caring staff at reception for your kindness. The flowers and card was a lovely gesture from you all, Love Steve and Angela Roby

The vets and staff at Ulysses Vets are amazing. Compassionate, so helpful, knowledgeable and just fantastic. Thank you for all you do for our wildlife and domestic animals.

SOUTHSIDE VETERINARY SURGERY REVIEWS

I called in a panic close to closing time on a Saturday to unfortunately put our very sick cat down (our typical vet was overseas). The staff went above and beyond to help us get him in right away and were so caring and compassionate during a very difficult time. I cannot thank them enough for their professionalism and kind hearts.

I recently had to put my beautiful dog to sleep and cannot praise Helen and all the staff at Southside veterinary surgery highly enough for their care and compassion. They helped organize my boys cremation and sent me a card full of comforting messages from all the staff. Thank you all so much.

Absolutely fantastic team at Southside Vets. They never let me down and took exceptional care of my beautiful pets. Thank you, thank you.
